@Sherlock_Homie_ Starship Troopers is a great novel. Lousy movie that was done as camp, but the book is really different and much better. – source2021-01-03T03:00:26.000Z
OMW directly influenced by: Starship Troopers, book AND film; Half-Life; Dan Simmons' Hyperion series; and rather quite a few films with snappy dialogue and a three-act structure BUT SPECIFICALLY Nora Ephron's bits in Sleepless in Seattle where Sam talks about missing his wife. – source2019-06-17T11:35:55.000Z
@theBrianBurgess I have not read anything by John Steakley.
I have read Robert Heinlein's book STARSHIP TROOPERS which is the book the movie is based upon.
I recommend that one to you and, if you like future-war stories, FOREVER WAR by Joe Haldeman is one of the best. – source
